Electrical connection
This description applies to tumble
dryers both with and without a mains
plug.
The following applies to tumble dryers
with a mains plug:
- This tumble dryer is supplied with a
mains cable with moulded plug.
- The electrical socket must be easily
accessible so that the tumble dryer
can be disconnected from the
electricity supply.
Damage caused by incorrect
supply voltage.
The data plate indicates the nominal
power consumption and the
appropriate fuse rating.
Compare the specifications on the
data plate with those of the mains
electricity supply.
The dryer must only be connected to a
permanent electrical system that
conforms to the national and local
codes and regulations.
Do not connect the machine via an
extension lead or power board. They do
not guarantee the required safety of the
appliance (e.g. danger of overheating
and fire).
If the appliance is hard wired, an all-
pole disconnection must be provided
on site. The means of disconnection
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring
in accordance the the wiring rules.
When switched off, there must be an
all-pole contact gap of at least 3 mm in
the isolator switch (including circuit
breakers, fuses, and relays according to
AS/NZS 3000). This connection must
be carried out by a qualified and
competent electrician.
The plug connector or isolator switch
should be easily accessible at all times.
Risk of electric shock!
If the dryer is disconnected from the
power supply, protective measures
must be taken to ensure that the
point of disconnection cannot
accidentally be switched on again.
Make sure the isolator is lockable or
the point of disconnection is
monitored at all times.
New connections, modifications to the
system, or servicing of the protective
conductor, including determining the
correct fuse rating, must be carried out
by a qualified and competent
electrician, as they are familiar with the
pertinent regulations and the specific
requirements of the electrical utility
company.
The dryer must not be connected to
devices such as timers which would
switch it off automatically.
